Chemical peel treatment can help smoothen the appearance of your skin, reduce wrinkles and age spots and even improve blood flow. These procedures work by removing layers of skin.

Chemical Peel treatment usually spans between 0.5 to 1 hour. There are three main types of chemical peel treatments.

Superficial chemical peels: A light or superficial chemical peel removes the top layer of skin, which is known as the epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of your skin. This peel targets fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone and dryness and is excellent for them. Depending on your goals, you can have a mild chemical peel every two to five weeks.

Medium chemical peels: A chemical peel removes dead skin cells from your epidermis and parts of the top layer of your skin’s middle layer, also known as the dermis. Wrinkles, acne scars and uneven skin tone can all be treated with a medium depth chemical peel. You may apply one of these treatments every three to nine months to maintain your results.

Deeper chemical peels: A deep chemical peel eliminates dead skin cells from your epidermis as well as the mid to lower layers of your dermis. If you have deep wrinkles, scars or precancerous growths, a deep chemical peel may be the best option for you. A deep chemical peel is irreversible once it is performed. This is because they target the deeper layers of the skin and the results are more long-lasting.

During your first appointment at our clinic, Mr Ammar Allouni will clarify all your questions regarding the procedure. He will recommend the chemical peels only if it is the best option for you.
